B. New York. Based in NYC/NJ.
I am a designer and artist working across textiles, surfaces, graphics, and visual communication. My practice is rooted in material exploration, combining weaving, print, drawing, and digital processes to create work that is thoughtful, tactile, and contemporary.
Inspired by color, texture, and pattern, I develop projects across textiles, rugs, fashion, graphics, and visual identities. I approach design and textiles as spaces for storytelling and exploration. This site showcases a selection of projects that reflect both my design sensibility and material-driven approach to making.
